I don't know the legalities. I know they do get discussed here from time to time.
However there is such a thing as good old common sense. My wife and I were playing on Silver Lake a couple of years back. One of the holes there (#7, maybe?) has a fairway that plays along a row of homes. My wife sliced a drive that bounced on the fairway and then over the fence of a homeowner, who was in his yard doing some work at the time. No harm done. We walked over and asked if my wife could retrieve her ball. He was good-natured about it and she got her ball back. I commented that with his home so close to the course he probably has had to deal with broken windows from time to time.
He just grinned, walked over the the nearest window, rapped on it and said "Plexiglas!"
